Chapter 131 Call the Police
After a long silence, Joseph said, “Ashton, let her go. She has been living a good life for the past three years. Haven’t you hurt her enough? Why do you have to push her to this point?”
His tone was even a little humble, which Deborah had never heard before in her memory.
How was it possible for Joseph to speak in such a humble tone?
Deborah was surprised. How could it be possible for Joseph to beg an unfamiliar man to let her go and acquiesce to what this man had ald?
Deborah couldn’t hide the fear and panic in her eyes. She grabbed Joseph’s arm and said softly, “Let’s go. Don’t stay in the hospital anymore. Let’s go home.”
Deborah didn’t want to stay here at all, nor did she want to listen to these inexplicable words that had nothing to do
with her.
In the past, Joseph would try his best to fulfill any of Deborah’s requests.
Sometimes when Deborah was sick and didn’t want to stay in the hospital, Joseph would take Deborah back home and have a family doctor come to check on her.
In the past few years, Deborah had been picky and willful, and Joseph had always been obedient to her.
But this time, Joseph didn’t take Deborah away according to her instructions.
Joseph simply held Deborah’s hand and said, “It’s okay.”
But Joseph didn’t seem to have confidence in his own words,
Seeing the situation, Dr. Garza called the other doctors out.
In the spacious ward, only Ashton, Deborah, and Joseph were left.
Joseph wanted to let Deborah leave as well, but Ashton didn’t allow it.
Deborah had been hidden by Joseph for three years, while Ashton had been completely deceived during that time. This time, he would never let Deborah leave his sight again.
If she left again, she might disappear for another three years, five years, or even longer.
Deborah was anxious to prove something and reached out to touch the diamond ring on Joseph’s ring finger. “We have wedding rings. We’re going to get married soon.”
Only then did Ashton notice that Joseph was wearing a ring.
Joseph’s diamond ring was exactly the same as his.
The rings on Deborah and Ashton’s fingers were a pair, which Deborah had managed to buy with her own savings and
loans.
There was no doubt that Joseph had deliberately bought the extra one to deceive Deborah.
Ashton glared at Joseph with anger. “You are despicable! My patience is limited. If you keep interfering with Deborah, I’ll call the police!”
Joseph had lost the protection of the Black family, but even if he had a lot of power now, or even if he could dominate the business world, it was impossible for him to escape punishment for stealing someone else’s wife, and it was impossible for him to sentence someone else’s wife to him.

Deborah finally noticed the dlatnond ring on Ashton’s finger.
It was exactly the same as the one in Joseph’s hand.
Deborah couldn’t utter a single word. That enormous feeling of helplessness and feat was like a tide that was about to
devour her.
Deborah had never considered what would happen if Joseph had deceived her and she had to leave Joseph. How could
she continue to live?
For three years, Deborah had slowly gotten to where she was today, becoming the most renowned designer.
All Deborah wanted was to hold up her trophy and share her achievements and joy with Joseph.
Deborah wanted to be excellent enough to stand beside Joseph with confidence.
But she was wrong. It seemed that, in an instant, everything was wrong.
Joseph held Deborah’s hand, and his knuckles slowly turned pale.
He said in a humble voice, “Let her go, Ashton. Give her a way out. I beg you.”
That day, Deborah really wanted to die. If it weren’t for Joseph showing up at the last moment, stopping Deborah
when she was already in the middle of the street, she would have died.
Ashton’s temples were throbbing, and the strange and disdainful look from Deborah, along with her obvious trust and dependence on Joseph, ignited him, causing his rationality to quickly disappear.
For three years, Joseph had made Deborah forget him completely and had lived with Deborah day and night like a married couple.
During these three years, they stayed in the same house, so how many intimate moments did they share?
Had Joseph even taken Deborah to get a uterus transplant? Was it possible that they even had a child together?
Ashton had to admit that he was jealous. Just thinking about it was enough to drive him crazy.
Three years was almost as long as the time he had spent with Deborah after getting married.
He, Joseph, had no right to do so. What right did he have?
Finally, Ashton couldn’t control himself anymore. He shouted, “Jeff, call the police! Let’s see if the police in Oceanview City know how to do their job!”
Jeff was waiting outside the door and immediately took out his phone to call the Oceanview City police station upon hearing Ashton’s words.
Joseph remained calm. There was nothing else he could do but listen to Ashton..
However, he would never voluntarily give up Deborah.
Dr. Garza lost his cool, pushing open the door and shouting at Ashton, “Ashton, have some conscience!
“Joseph has taken care of Deborah very well these past three years. Ask anyone who has been by Deborah’s side, and they’ll tell you how happy she was!
“Take a moment to think back to the days when she was with you, Ashton. Those were the days when she was treated
worse than an animal.”
Ashton couldn’t find any words to argue. All he could say was, “Deborah is my wife, and Joseph took her away and
